Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting enzyme inhibition. Its sulfonimidoyl group enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability, making it valuable in drug design. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to construct complex aromatic systems for agrochemicals and medicinal chemistry. Also utilized in the development of covalent inhibitors due to the reactivity of the bromo substituent, allowing for further functionalization in late-stage diversification.
